The day after

well, it has come and gone. Yes Thanksgiving blew in and out just like any other day and of course all it left behind was some food (alot of food) dirty dishes and lots of memories. Other than spending time with friends and family I think the memories are the best part of Thanksgiving. Ken and I went to the lake to spend time with family and although not everyone was there we had a ball. Our great nephews and niece of course stole the show. They are so precious and so full of life and of course not a care in the world, I love just sitting back and watching them they are so stinking cute. Sugar and CJ did a great job! Then Ashley and Timmy came over, they worked us in their busy schedule and was able to make some time for us. It is funny that when Kids are young and need you they are all over you, the minute they are old enough to do it on their on, you are only a source of food or income (lol). I love when she spends time with us, even if it is only for 30 minutes. Then to top the day off Ken was able to talk with Derick and I know he enjoyed that. Derick is in NC with his wife Amber and we don't get to see them that much, but Ken was able to talk with him and catch up on some life. Yes, all in all it was a good day. Of course in the back of my mind I still miss Kenny as he was the missing link for yesterday. However, the great thing is the memories and yes I will have those forever and I imagine if there is a feast in Heaven he was first in line awaiting on the mac and cheese, and I can hear him now, are you sure there is enough cheese in there? I think you need more. So now we move forward to Christmas and the gifts and again spending more time with family. But you know now that I think about it, I wonder why we only choose two days a year to make it a point to spend time with family? Life is so precious and so limited here on earth. Of course on the other side of the spectrum, I wonder why so many people only chose Christmas and Easter to focus on Christ, so much they are missing, so much!
